 Ito said, &#8220;It was somewhat of a dream of mine to be in a morning drama. If you don&#8217;t give up, you can make it come true.
Actress Sairi Ito, 28, expressed her joy at a press conference held on February 22. Ito&#8217;s &#8220;dream&#8221; came true when she was chosen to play the role of Yoshiko Mibuchi, Japan&#8217;s first female lawyer, in the NHK television series &#8220;Tora ni Tsubasa,&#8221; which will be broadcast in the spring of 2012. Ito also said at the press conference.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 It is a role of a woman who paves the way. I want to express her humanity, not only her strength, but also her weakness.&#8221;
FRIDAY&#8221; reported Ito&#8217;s first love affair in April 2010. It was with a screenwriter, Horai Ryuta (47), who is almost 20 years older than Ito. We caught the couple walking downtown in Tokyo&#8217;s Shibuya Ward, which was crowded with businessmen on their way home from work. They were enjoying a meal at a reasonably priced sushi restaurant for about two hours.
 In June 2009, Ito was the heroine in the play &#8220;The Decapitated Prince and the Foolish Woman,&#8221; written and directed by Horai, and the two became fast friends. Around the summer of 2010, after the play, Mr. Horai made a strong approach to her and they started dating. Mr. Horai even invited Ms. Ito as his girlfriend to a drinking party he hosted, and they have the official approval of acquaintances and other people involved.
Ito is not the only actress spotted by FRIDAY on a &#8220;date&#8221; with an actress starring in a morning drama. Eri Fukatsu (50), Yuna Kuroshima (25), Nanako Matsushima (49), Tomoko Yamaguchi (58), and Erika Toda (34) &#8230;&#8230;. We would like to introduce the charms of these aura-filled heroines with their treasured &#8220;passionate love photos.
<h2>17 years of dating!</h2>

Come Come Everybody&#8221; (broadcast from November 2009), based on a radio English course, tells the 100-year story of three generations of mothers, daughters, and grandchildren who lived from the Taisho era to Reiwa. The highest viewership rating was recorded at 19.7% (last episode), and the average was a high 17.2%. Fukatsu played one of the heroines.
Fukatsu-san played the second heroine (daughter), Rui Kijima. Ms. Fukatsu was cast in the role from the time she was 18 years old. She was cast in a role that was 30 years older than her actual age, so she had a lot of trouble with the role. Ms. Fukatsu rented an apartment in the Kansai region and commuted to a film studio in Osaka Prefecture.
 Her stylist, Haruhisa Shirayama, supported her both publicly and privately. In &#8220;Come Come Everybody,&#8221; Mr. Shirayama&#8217;s name appears as Fukatsu&#8217;s exclusive stylist. Mr. Hakusan accompanied Ms. Fukatsu on her photo shoots.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
FRIDAY&#8221; also caught the love affair between Fukatsu and Mr. Hakusan. It was July 2006, about 17 years ago, when Fukatsu and Hakusan were seen walking down a street at night in a shared umbrella. I have seen many celebrities with parasols, but it is rare to see two people who look so good together.
 Ms. Fukatsu seems to feel more at ease when Ms. Hakusan is nearby. For Ms. Fukatsu, &#8220;Come Come Everybody&#8221; was her first starring drama in 11 years since &#8220;Suteki na Kakidotsuri &#8211; Perfectly Perfect Concierge&#8221; (Fuji TV series). Ms. Shirayama is said to have given Ms. Fukatsu advice on how to coordinate her everyday clothes.
Actresses have made great strides with the help of morning dramas. They are able to perform well because of the support of their trusted partners.
